Abstract
This essay focuses on the struggles of menstruation and public bathrooms for gender nonconforming
communities. This topic is important because the barriers faced by gender nonconforming communities are
frequently ignored and create a harmful environment. I argue the importance of menstrual product
accessibility because it is important for those who menstruate to have the necessary products available in
all public spaces. I also argue for bathroom equality because everyone deserves a bathroom they feel
comfortable and safe in. I hope to raise awareness about the importance of bathroom equality and convince
readers of how beneficial it truly is for those who identify as gender nonconforming to be heard.
